They have provided wonderful, attentive care for all of our dogs, and most recently helped us say goodbye to our sweet Taylin in the relaxed comfort of our home. Dr. Julie's compassion, gentleness, and inclusive communication throughout the euthanasia visit made an incredibly difficult time more peaceful, and I can't thank them enough for the care they've given Taylin both in everyday visits and in her final moments. Thank you both for being by her side.

I completed their Intake form last Thursday, today is Tuesday - so you would think that by now I would be a priority - but after NUMEROUS texts and phone calls to them, at 11am they informed me (by text) that - once again - they are too busy to come today. IT IS A HELLISH EXPERIENCE TO WAIT FOR A VET TO COME WHILE YOUR PET GETS WORSE BECAUSE EVERY DAY IS THE ONE YOU BELIEVE THEY WILL COME! They will waste your time while you wait for them and your pet pays the price.

Dr. Haas saved my 8 lb. baby Shorkie's life! My husband and I forever grateful, thankful, and…read morepraise God he answered his phone for us in an emergency when no one else would. Our baby would've died if Dr. Haas didn't rush to his office for us at night and perform surgery. I can't even think about what we would've done without him! I can't express in words how appreciative we are or how much we love Lihue Vet & Dr. Haas. We can not recommend highly enough and we could never repay him and the staff for their kindness, response to our emergency, patience, care, and help. Our little pup got attacked and dragged away on the beach by a wild pig hunting dog from the homeless camp. She was torn in half and we were traumatized. If Dr. Haas didn't agree to meet us and perform emergency surgery late night, our baby wouldn't be here. She got 28 staples and survived only because of Dr. Haas & his assistant Kaleo who thankfully still happened to be closing up at 8pm at night. EVERY single one of the Lihue Veterinary staff that we worked with - Lisa, Lynne, & Kaleo - were ALL amazing. We would say they all deserve a raise, but they're all the most amazing family who work together. We are forever indebted to them. Our bill was also 1/3 of what it would have been at home on Oahu so we brainstorming ways to to take care of these wonderful people or donate to the clinic when we settle in back at home. They are the most caring and AMAZING VETS ON KAUAI! Dr. Haas is truly our hero.

Dr. Basko is an actual angel from the heavens. Our baby was diagnosed with a liver shunt, and some…read moreGI issues which all our doctors in Los Angeles treated poorly and misdiagnosed. I found dr b from doing very extensive searches for holistic veterinarians and searching their backgrounds etc. trying to make the best choice for my baby, who can help get her on the right track and a good plan since she was 13 1/2 and I wanted to extend her life naturally providing for her the best I can. Dr Basko got on her plan right away, he wasted no time. A couple days after the phone consult he had a 2 part treatment plan ready for her. Part one- was a lot of detailed explanations what was going on inside and different ways we can fix it. Part two- was the treatment plan with links to all supplements and foods, shakes to make for her liver, trust me he knows his stuff. But it with a heavy heart that I write... that while I was collecting all the supplements for her to take and get her started on the right foot, she was brought to the hospital here in LA for anemia, and internal GI bleeding. Unfortunately long story short my baby, my best friend, my world did it make it out of the la hospital, the only reasoning for her death they gave us was: collapse. That's it no other explanations. I informed dr b and his team that unfortunately despite our best efforts to fix lulu and her health it was just too late, and I felt super disturbed by the no explanation from the la hospital which i stressed to him. I could not believe it, Dr Basko emailed me back and actually CARED to help me understand what happened to my baby, and get me the clarity I need. Versus her vet in LA who never even said he was sorry for my loss. Dr Basko is a kind, caring, patient and compassionate doctor who TRULY cares about animals, all animals. Lulu was so lucky to have this man as her new vet even if it was only for a week or two. Thank you for everything, from me and little lulu. Rip angel mommy will see you soon

I took my 7 week old puppy to him on Friday for exam and first shots. When I brought her in I told him her appetite and movement has decreased and she threw up in the car. He told me she was lethargic and underweight. Asked if I was feeding her all she wanted. Accusing me of denying her food. And said she was probably just car sick. I should feed her more of the food they sell, its better. I felt very rushed, like I inconvenienced him by bringing her in (I had an appt, wasn't a walk in). The next day her symptoms got worse to where she wasn't eating at all and could barely hold her head up. It was a Saturday so we had to call the emergency number and the woman (the owner) came in to see her. She said my puppy had an extreme case of hookworm, worse than she's ever seen. And she had parvo. The woman was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately it was too late and my puppy died the following morning. If this man had just done his job and cared even a little he would've figured out my puppy was actually sick, not just a tummy ache. If he did more than just accuse me of starving her my puppy could've had a fighting chance. But he didn't care enough. I will forever resent this man for doing nothing to save my pup. I'm not even sure I could trust going back to this place again knowing he's there.
